I had them on my 964 and I was wondering what they would look like on my 996. Thanks for the pictures I realy like the way they look. They are very easy to clean, they are lighter than most other wheels, and they are very strong.

This is a good video if you haven't seen it yet.

To each his own.

The wheels are light compared to stock.
TE37
18x8.5 18lbs
18x11 rear 20.5lbs

18" 02' Carrera2 5 spokes
8" Front 21lbs
10" Rear 23lbs

The car has been lowered for performance not for show. I'll take that any day...

What are your camber settings? I noticed on the rear that the rim is pretty much flush with the fender even with my -2.0. I'd like to see what 11.5 et 60 looks like. Do you have any pics of that you can send me? In regard to the front, 9"et50 (with 265/35/18) seemed pretty tight when I tried it. The lower spring perch was too close to the wheel/tire for my liking. I belieive my coilover spring perch is the same position as my stock suspension. Did you have to use a 7-8mm spacer for the front? What tire size for front/rear?

Wheels are out to get shinied up. Sorry but Don't have any pics of them on the car. I have -2.7 F and -2.5 R.

I don't run that big (265) up front. 245-255 is better. I don't have spring perch issues cause I run the GT3 coilovers and the springs are 2.5"

Rears I run from 295-315 depending on brands. I don't run spacers. I'll take pics and post when I get em back.
